What you'll see and do
Sunj Beach
At 10 am private skipper will be waiting for you to embark on the speedboat and start this full-day adventure on the sea! First, you'll be riding through the stunning Elaphiti Channel and in about 40 minutes, you'll reach sandy beach Šunj on the island of Lopud. Šunj is one of the rare sandy beaches on our coast, so this is an opportunity to enjoy a bit different views than the ones you've seen so far. You'll spend about an hour on Šunj where you can swim, have drinks or just sunbathe in the beautiful environment.

Sipanska Luka
Your next destination will be the island of Šipan (the biggest one of Elaphiti islands). On your way to Šipan, the skipper will make a short stop in a hidden bay for snorkelling, swimming, or just taking photos as the views are splendid. You can jump off the speedboat into the crystal clear sea or just enjoy the surroundings from the boat. It's up to your preference. After this short but sweet stop, you'll reach 'Luka Šipanska' which is one out of two inhabited places on the whole island. Here you'll have free time for lunch or drinks in a local beach bar! It's beautiful to walk around and discover the island. Enjoy local life for a while, little bays and traditional boats in the port. There are only about 200 people living on the entire island, so this truly is a unique experience.

Kolocep Island
From Šipan you will continue towards smaller island of Koločep. On your way to Koločep you will stop in Sikirica Bay for swimming. It's hard to locate this bay on the map and that's why it's even more special. You can snorkel there or even use sea scooter! Sikirica has turquoise color of the sea and it makes it even more special to visit! After the break on Sikirica, you'll continue towards Koločep which is nature's oasis, untouched and clean. Less than 150 people live there and during the winter time it's almost empty. Beaches are rocky or pebbly and the color of the sea is incomparable to anything else. On Koločep, you'll visit Blue Cave where you can take some photos as the background is perfect. Here you'll have another opportunity for swimming, sunbathing or snorkeling before your return to Dubrovnik.

Dubrovnik
Besides Elaphiti Islands, there are a few hidden bays where the skipper also suggests stopping because these bays are definitely worth visiting. They are not easily found on the map which makes it even better. Get ready for a day full of surprisingly beautiful locations on your way to the main location! *Please note that fuel is not included in the price and it is paid at the end of tour. Fuel surcharge is approx. between 150 and 200 euro depending on the boat you choose.*

Unforgettable experience with the best skipper!
We had a spectacular day with Nick on our 8 hour tour of the Elaphiti Islands. Nick made our day so memorable, he was a fabulous guide as well as skipper, giving us lots of very informative information. Nick made sure my father - who cannot swim, did not miss out, ensuring he felt safe, comfortable and even guided him into the sea (something we have never been able to achieve) and patiently took him into the cave and all over the beautiful islands on the paddle board. The was immaculate, maintained with a lot of pride. We were made to feel extremely comfortable and constantly offered refreshments. We hope to return to Croatia soon and will not hesitate to rebook this amazing experience. Thank you so much, Nick. We won’t forget you or our wonderful day with you!
Response from the operator: Dear Jaya, Thank you for your kind words, we are so glad you enjoyed your trip with us and captain Nick. We would be happy to welcome you abord next year.

Magical amazing experiences AGAIN
This is the second year we have had multiple adventures with Ivan and Blue Mile. Ivan is an exceptionally nice, experienced, thoughtful, considerate skipper who has spoiled us once again. Absolutely amazing with young children and brought us to the most exquisite places. I can’t recommend him and Blue Mile enough
Response from the operator: Dear Fiona, Thank you for your kind words, we are so glad to her you enjoyed your trips with us and we hope to welcome you again next year. Best regards, Blue Mile Team

Great day out for all our family
Picked up at 10am from the Sun Gardens Hotel harbour and immediately felt at home - We were given so many choices to try and Ivan out skipper did everything to make the day a success. From visiting several beautiful islands and allowing plenty time in each to get coffees / explore as we wished - sea swimming when we wanted to cool off throughout the day - lunch at an amazing family bbq seafood restaurant and visit to several caves along the way. On board plenty fresh towels - also a well stocked fridge with much welcomed water, beer and soft drinks. We returned to our pick up point just around 6pm. We set the itinerary throughout the day as we wished and our skipper was brilliant A must do if you visit this area.
Response from the operator: Dear Geo, Thank you for your review, we are happy to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Ivan. Best regards, Blue Mile Team

Greatest excursion yet!
It was an amazing experience. It was our second time in Dubrovnik so we thought let's do a boat tour this time to explore more of coastal islands. We had the best time yet in Dubrovnik. The recommendations Luka gave us for sightseeing and places he took us to swim were memories we'll cherish forever. Thank you for this memorable experience!
Response from the operator: Dear guest, Thank you for your review and kind words. We are glad you enjoyed your boat trip with Luka. Best regards, Blue Mile Team

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Full-Day Tour of Elaphiti Islands by Speedboat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.
How much does Private Full-Day Tour of Elaphiti Islands by Speedboat cost?
+
Prices start at $945 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubrovnik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Full-Day Tour of Elaphiti Islands by Speedboat take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dubrovnik is not rushed.
Is Private Full-Day Tour of Elaphiti Islands by Speedboat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dubrovnik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Full-Day Tour of Elaphiti Islands by Speedboat?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Full-Day Tour of Elaphiti Islands by Speedboat suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Full-Day Tour of Elaphiti Islands by Speedboat?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dubrovnik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dubrovnik and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Full-Day Tour of Elaphiti Islands by Speedboat start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dubrovnik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dubrovnik?
+
On Outty we rank every Dubrovnik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubrovnik: Game of Thrones Walking Tour, Panorama Zipline Experience in Dubrovnik, Dubrovnik: 7 Caves & Blue Cave Speedboat Tour (4h). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dubrovnik?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dubrovnik?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
